Lane Closures Begin on Interstate 94

The elimination of one lane on eastbound Interstate 94 will kick off three years of headaches, reconstruction.

It’s the beginning of a long stretch of construction on the region’s thoroughfare, Interstate 94.

Drivers should watch for lane closures on eastbound I-94 between Rogers and Maple Grove starting this weekend. Beginning Sun, Aug. 4, I-94 will be reduced to two lanes between Minnesota Highway 101 in Rogers and Weaver Lake Road in Maple Grove from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, with work continuing through early September.

Crews will be building temporary lanes in preparation for the upcoming road resurfacing and widening of I-94 between Maple Grove and Rogers.

Commuters should plan ahead and give themselves additional time to reach their destination. In 2014, road rehabilitation along this stretch caused delays up to a half-hour at times.

Improvements are ahead for a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater, including more travel lanes, rebuilt bridges, improved drainage and the resurfacing of deteriorating pavement. Additionally, a new interchange is being constructed on I-94 near the city of Dayton (the Brockton Interchange). The improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. Work will take place between 2019 and 2021.
